Product Description
Galil’s ActiveX Tool Kit is a powerful software package
that lets the designer quickly and easily create an opera-tor
interface for Galil controllers using any Windows
programming language that supports ActiveX.
Pre-built objects include a DMC terminal, polling
window, send files and storage scope functions. Dialog
boxes allow objects to be easily customized for color,
size, location and text.
The Tool Kit shortens the development time of an
operator interface from days or weeks to a matter of
hours. Plus, the tool kit is easy to use, making it ideal
for even the novice programmer.
Here, a Visual Basic screen was created for jogging motors
while the X and Y real time position is displayed. Motion
occurs when the operator clicks on the jog buttons.
The Polling window object allows responses from the
controller to be displayed.You can poll for data such as
position, speed and error for any axis.
